Annual integrated report 2018
Emerging Markets delivered a mixed bag of results. The “melange” was influenced by sometimes uncertain economic environments and on a like-for-like basis (50% of South Africa’s bakery business was sold in April 2017) these businesses continue to deliver commendable results. Revenue dropped 3,1% to R18,7 billion (2017: R19,3 billion); and trading profit fell 6,7% to R1,0 billion (2017: R1,1 billion). Bidcorp Food Africa (BFA) delivered good results in tough economic conditions. Margin and expense management was excellent, with overall expenses growth well below inflation. Trading profit rose despite deflation in Bidfood (BF) and some parts of Chipkins Puratos (CP). South Africa’s listeriosis crisis had material effects on Crown Food Group (CFG). BF was impacted to a lesser extent. The commitment to relationship capital was showcased by the Chipkins Puratos JV and the launch of a further joint venture with Griffiths Foods to pursue opportunities in the QSR segment. Further development of relationship capital is in prospect as cooperation is being stepped up with international brand principals who are planning to expand their involvement in African markets. Intellectual capital is constantly reinforced, as evidenced by the launch of ecommerce initiatives at CFG and the continued success of BF’s online ordering system. Ongoing attention is given to manufactured capital and the review period witnessed investment in a new wet plant, replacement of delivery vehicles and further spending at the new KwaZulu-Natal distribution facility.
